Hi,
In other posts of the newsgroup I have read that it is not possible to add
dynamic eattributes to an existing generated-static eclass. Is this
neither possible if there is a featuremap (like a choice) present in the
model/eclass? What I am thinking of is something like a xsd choice
(maxOccurs="unbounded") to which I can dynamically add new elements
(estructuralfeatures).

I can remember that I saw something like this when I was
debugging in emf somewhere but I do not remember where this was and maybe
I didn't see it correctly.

Am I thinking in the right direction or is this really not possible?

Martin,

You definitely cannot change the list of features of a generated EClass
or of any EClass for which instances already exist. A wildcard in XML
Schema will result in a feature map that lets you add any
attribute/element (depending on the kind of the wildcard) from any
document root to that feature map. AnyType from the XMLType package is a
good example of this and this project shows how it can be used:
